I’ve been trying to go to the gym regularly. Really, I have. I’m not as good at it as some of my friends, but I’m trying. Despite that, I didn’t make it at all last week (being on-call for work is my excuse — being paged in the middle of a workout sucks). Finally, last [...]

My email appears to be broken right now, do to some massive screwup by my hosting company. Since last night, DNS has been failing for some of my domains. I’ve been a Dreamhost customer for a long time, and I’ve defended them repeatedly. The bang for the buck factor is great. But geez this [...]

If you have a website and you haven’t used Google Webmaster Central, and more specifically Webmaster Tools, you’re really missing out on some cool stuff. And I’m not just saying that because it’s one of the projects I work on
One of the things you’ll find in Webmaster Tools is a list of the [...]

Michael White was my teacher for Improv 400, and he was undoubtedly one of the best teachers I’ve ever had for any subject. It was truly an awesome class. Michael is also a hypnotherapist, and he recently posted a podcast using hypnosis to help people overcome a fear of clowns. Even if you’re not afraid [...]

Awwww yeah! We’ve got our tickets and hotel reservation (tricky!) — we’re going to Nashville next summer for the CMA Music Festival! Neither of us have been to Nashville, so we’re both really excited.
Do any of you have any CMA Fest tips, or things we should see while we’re in Nashville?

I would apologize for the bad pun in the title of this post, but I think it may be so bad as to not even qualify as a pun.
After much complaining, hand wringing and web searching, I gave in and bought a ReadyNAS NV+. Since the party poopers discontinued the diskless version, I ordered the [...]

I’m trying something new. I’ve added a section on the right side of the main page (on my real blog — if you’re reading this on MySpace, you won’t see it) labeled “shared items.” I’m going to try to use it to share my favorite posts from other blogs I read. It shows the last [...]

Warning: geeky post ahead.
Lately I’ve been struggling a lot with how to manage the many, many, MANY gigabytes of digital photos I have stored. Some day I’ll write a post about my workflow and archiving system, but suffice it to say I have a ton of CDs and DVDs filed away. It’s becoming a major [...]

Ok, here it is. The video from this our Improv 400 showcase is up.
The first video is what we called the “Neapolitan.” The other three are simple two, three and four person scenes, respectively. I’m in the Neapolitan and the two person scene (warning: I accidentally let a curse word out in that one — [...]

The show last night… happened.
Overall, I think it went well. I’m very lucky to have a great group of classmates to work with, and they did a great job. I’m not thrilled with my performance. It wasn’t horrible, but it was far from my best. There was more randomness than usual, I think. It’s frustrating [...]
